Hey guys, I've never had any issues out of my '10 G37x but Monday with no warning I started to drive and noticed my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I've never seen these lights on before and started to wonder hat exactly it was. I pulled over to check my brake fluid..... empty. Topped it off and no help. Still lit up and on top of the a vibration coming from under the "Brake" lid. Even when I turned the car off the vibration continued. I let the car sit overnight and noticed that the sound was gone. Thinking the problem was fixed, got in the car to realize my battery was completely dead. After charging it and taking to my local repair shop they told me the issue was my ABS control module and that they don't make the part anymore. They found one to replace it with and quoted me $600 for the repair. I've been going to this shop for years and they only work on Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti. My only issue is I've never paid that much for a repair or known a part to be that expensive. Can I get some advice or opinions on this? They said they can turn the ABS off to stop the battery draining but didn't suggest driving it like in that state.

 

I don't know about them not making it anymore, mroelike the price of a new one is insane and will take very long time to get and used one that work peprfectly well and are much cheaper are abundant...otherwise that sounds like a pretty accurate diagnosis, maybe look at hollander or Car-part or Ebay for a cheaper part and see if they will install that one to bring down the price (although it kinda sounds like they have already sourced one for you)...labour wise I don't know how reasonable it is but doesn't sound too bad for an in-demand specialty shop to change the module and bleed the system if it includes the part too (I don't know how much of that is the part cost)....you could always get a second opinion from another garage too
